Clare Strand, from the series Signs of a Struggle, 2002. Gelatin silver print.
This display explores photographs that make reference to themselves, other media and texts, and demonstrates how such Postmodernist approaches to photography have persisted for over 30 years. Spanning the mid-1970s to the present day, it shows work by some of the most influential artists associated with Postmodernism, such as Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince, alongside more recent work by Ann Hardy, David Shrigley, Clare Strand and others.
